Awkward neckline but slip needed. MN wisdom please!

I’ve bought a vintage radley dress at a jumble sale. It was £4,59. I love it so much but it’s black pleated silk and my goodness it’s see through! I need a slip but it has quite an awkward neckline. Pic attached is a similar neck but it’s not the dress as I am away from home. I really want to wear the dress to office Xmas party but I can’t show them my pants 😂 I’ve had a look in primary but their slips straps will stick right out….any ideas? Never bought a slip ever….

How about a black strapless bra and separate underskirt?

Ask a dressmaker to sew in a lining?

Google black Jersey bandeau dress and wear it instead of a slip

Is it designed to be wore over a bodysuit?

Yes it might do, but if you really love the dress you could think of it as an investment, plus you're already quids in, given it was so cheap?

Slip skirt and a bandeau style top. M&S is my go to for slip skirts. Bandeau top might be harder to get. Might be work looking at swimwear
